4th Asian Beach Games 2014
Phuket, Thailand, 14-23 November 2014
Asian Beach Games
occur every two years and are sanctioned by the OCA Olympic Council of Asia, the local organizer is known as PABGOC Phuket Asian Beach Games Organizing Committee. FAI is recognized by the IOC International Olympic Committee and hence OCA as the IF, International Federation responsible for Air sports. IFs form the third part of the organization of an ABG by providing the rules and technical officials for each participating sport.
In the case of this ABG, the participating Air Sports are Powered Paragliding (Paramotors) and Paragliding Accuracy. The technical delegates appointed by FAI for each sport are Richard Meredith-Hardy and Andika. The remainder of the technical staff is appointed by the Royal Aeronautic Sports Association of Thailand RASAT which is the FAI NAC.
The first Technical Delegates meeting was held in Phuket Nov 13-14 2013. The major work was to prepare the Technical Handbook for each sport and to check the suitability of the venue. In the case of Air Sports this is the same venue as used for the November 2013 Asia Oceania Paramotor Championships / ABG Test event.
The [local regulations and Task catalogue|^ABG 2014 local regulations FINAL 1e.pdf] are the rules of the event. They are very similar to the LR used at ABG 2012 Haiyang and the test event.
The two Airsports will be participating amongst 21 other sports, athletes will be competing for 4 medals in each air sport, 3,304 athletes will be competing for 157 medals in total.
Key deadlines
Entries can only be made by the 45 OCA member National Olympic Committees.
- Each participating NOC must submit Entry by Number Forms to PABGOC by 24.00hrs Thailand local time (GMT +7) by 15 July 2014
- Entry by Name Forms must be received by PABGOC no later than 31 August 2014 at 24.00hrs Thailand local time (GMT +7).
It seems probable they may accept late 'entries by number', but the 31 August deadline is probably not flexible at all.
